@latimeralder@PhilC273 Okay. Please tell us how hot is too hot? I assume you agree that 15C average global increase would wipe out humanity. 10C would easily decimate the population. 5C? Do you know? If you don’t why are you ‘cool with climate change’s
@DeanH2963@latimeralder The mountain is irrelevant, the 100ft fall is the point.
The 750Gt per year is irrelevant, the 50% increase is the point
The point of the analogy is that the mountain is irrelevant, like your 750Gt is irrelevant

Mountain = irrelevant . 750Gt = irrelevant
@DeanH2963@latimeralder You. Brought. Up. Temperature. I did not
You. Claimed. 0.5%. Temperature rise. Was. Insignificant. I did not.
You are all over the place
@DeanH2963@latimeralder You frame 0.5% as being irrelevant, but it’s clearly not as it’s 1/10th of the way to a 5% rise, which is as hot as the hottest times during the hot house period of Earth, with sea levels 40-50m higher, and vast swathes of Earth above the wet bulb temperature of 35C
@DeanH2963@latimeralder To be clear. I never brought up temperature . You did. I did not.
You framed it at 0.5% rise. A 5% rise is a 15C rise, that would, without a shadow of a doubt, at least decimate the world’s population.
@DeanH2963@latimeralder analogy - imagine falling 100ft at sea level. It’s bad. Now imagine being at the top of a mountain and fall 100ft, much smaller % fall, but same effect.
The mountain is irrelevant, it’s the fall that matters.
The 750Gt is irrelevant, it’s the accumulated increase that matters
